Who we are: We are a ministry of Kahului Baptist Church that exists to love God and to love people in faithfulness to God’s word in order to bring him glory. At the Biblical Counseling Center of Maui (BCCM), we aim to come alongside local churches in ministering to those in need of counseling. Our goal is never to replace the local church, but to support and minister in partnership with the local church. We know that in a world of sin and suffering there are seasons in the life of a Christian that call for concentrated times of care and instruction.
What we do: We will meet with counselees for a number of weeks in order to equip them with the Word of God. During these sessions, the counselor will seek to understand, connect the counselee to the truths of the gospel applied to their situation, and point them to the biblical process of change, and a deep hope and trust in the Lord. In addition, we seek to provide training in order to equip others to be biblical counselors.
What we believe: God in his grace saves sinners through the perfect life, sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross, and his victorious resurrection. When a person repents of their sin and puts their faith in Jesus, God by his Spirit makes them spiritually alive. As a new creation, a Christian will then be transformed into the likeness of Christ. This occurs through the Bible rightly understood and applied as God’s word is sufficient and powerful to bring change in the life of a Christian. Hence, biblical counseling is a form of Christian discipleship where our primary goal is to see God glorified in the life of every counselee.
Our History: The Biblical Counseling Center Of Maui was established in the summer of 2016 out of a passionate desire to display the hope and power of the Gospel through authentic life change to those who find themselves in seasons of despair or significant hardship. After years of prayer, and the generous support of Kahului Baptist Church, we are pleased to offer Biblical counseling services to the island of Maui. Our prayer is that this center will provide a much needed resource for hope and encouragement to the hurting.
